Anti-Racism Book Circle
Bravery is ending systemic racism. Our monthly book circle exists to: hold each other accountable to the work of anti-racism, listen to our unique perspectives, and change racism starting from within ourselves first.
Our next books: This month, we'll be finishing up reading Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson (nonfiction, super good!) AND for those of you in need of something different, you can read The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett (fiction)
We meet monthly on the 3rd Thursdays at 10 am Central & 7 pm Central (UTC-5).
Courageous Creatives Book Club
Bravery is exploring and expanding your freedom of expression. This group of like-minded creatives meets weekly to discuss building their creative career, the practicalities of making money with art, and the bravery of putting yourself out there as an artist in any form.
Our Next Book: Join fellow creative visionaries to adventure through Walking in This World: The Practical Art of Creativity — the sequel to Julia Cameron's 12-week cult classic, The Artist's Way. Group members receive 12 weeks of group coaching and instruction by Emily Ann Peterson, songwriter & author of bestselling Bare Naked Bravery: How to Be Creatively Courageous.
We meet weekly on Wednesdays at 10 am Central & 7 pm Central (UTC-5).
Anti-Burnout Book Circle
Are you overwhelmed, overworked, and a little frazzled? Maybe you know you're on the highway to burnout or been there awhile? Then you're invited to join fellow bravery students to learn how to rest, recoup, and reignite your zeal and endurance! The most sustainable way to bravely making this world a better place begins from a place of comradery and rest.
Using concepts from Emily Ann Peterson's Bare Naked Bravery, students of The School of Bravery will be discussing and reading through books, articles, and other media pieces to nourish, guide, and rejuvenate our brave resistance to a world that demands more from us every day. We do this so we can be laser-focused on the issues that need our full attention and creative passions.
We meet weekly on Wednesdays at 7 pm Central. Meeting replays are available to those who cannot attend live. Ongoing support and discussion are available in the dedicated channel in The School of Bravery's Slack group.
Our Next Book: Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily (PhD in health behavior) & Amelia Nagoski (DMA in conducting orchestral music)
